For those of you with a 180/wide tire, how much clearance is there between the sidewall and the fender? I use a bungee cord to secure things to the seat, and clip the hook end inside the fender on each side. I just want to make sure I can still do this if I go to a 180 tire.

 

Ive got about 3/8 of an inch on either side

 

I have an 06 street bob lowered 1.5" in the rear with a 180 and there is no clearance issue for bungee cords.

 

short answer to your question.... No

I have a 200 now, but know what the clearance was with the 180...

 

Get some bungie nuts, it wont be an issue and is easier on your paint.
